Could you do with some time away to get on with your writing project without the distractions of home?

Come to Limnisa. No distractions or household chores: no excuse not to get down to work!

Write to the sound of the sea, in a place that is calm and quiet, with only others like you, working away on their projects.You can start the day with a yoga class: enjoy breakfast out on the terrace and spend the morning in silence. After lunch you can go back to work or take time for swimming or walking.

Limnisa has its own beach. The sea is clear and perfect for snorkeling. The countryside  round about is mountainous, wild and rugged, with mule tracks winding through olive groves.

Breakfast and lunch are both buffets, made up of good local produce, with traditional Greek recipes. Tea, coffee, biscuits and fruit are available through the day. Wine/ beer and soft drinks are provided for lunch.

Share your writing experiences with other writers. Or if you prefer, wear a badge saying: 'Quiet please, I'm still thinking.'

In the evenings you can dine in one of the local tavernas down by the waterfront in the villages nearby (1 or 3km), or go off to Methana town (10km along the corniche).

You are welcome to make use of     all we have to offer: A multilingual library with plenty of fiction, history, art. The terraces, beach and sun-loungers. Bikes and snorkelling gear. Use of the Internet (though only for emailing please).
